Hello there, welcome to Virtuality or Reality.
Delude
This is a nice spot on the internet that allows us to connect with one another.
Delude
What is your name? I'm Delude
Delude
It's nice to meet you
Delude
Oh before we continue you should meet my friends.
Shady
Hello there, I'm Shady.
Corporeality
Hiya! I'm Corporeality!
Delude
Today has been a very busy day, so I usually come on this chat just to hang out with my friends. Do you think we can be friends?
Delude
Well let's get down to business, have you heard of any apps like these;
Instagram
Twitter
YouTube
Tumblr?
Delude
Isn't it kind of funny that you can upload posts, videos, and pictures on them? And people can either react, comment, or follow you?
I guess so.. What are you getting at?
Delude
Well the Internet gives us the chance to create our own worlds like gods, and just as such we often need followers if we want to create a name for ourselves.
I never thought of it like that.
Delude
So isn't it kind of cool we can do anything online, and because it all stays on the Internet it helps feed into our presence?
I don't know, its kind of scary how everything stays on here. I'd like some stuff to be deleted at least.
Delude
Lol, true. It is a total invasion of privacy, and even though it helps to create an online presence.. Sometimes we say something and it can even be taken the wrong way, which fuels the fire.
Delude
It doesn't matter how careful you are either.
Yeah, I've said some things I thought would be taken lightly... But a lot of people took it way to seriously..
Delude
Cause even though the Internet lets us feel like gods, its over piled and so many people have a real god complex and others are just mischievous. Though there is a good handful of people out there, that are definitely humane.
Delude
I guess this is why all gods throughout history have dark and good rumours about them.
Corporeality
I think we should stay offline more and do things in real life! Who cares what others think or say.
Delude
Yeah but the Internet is so nice, we can see videos from all over the world and educate ourselves on things we never knew about.
Delude
Just as I said, its kind of like being a god. Even though it's all through a screen and not like any real powers and all that lol.
Delude
A god can overlook the entire globe, just like we can, even places with no data. You can take videos or pictures and then get to a spot to reconnect, and upload them from there.
Delude
Do you ever feel like a god?
Well there are times where I get all my friends online to help shut someone down, or to cook someone. And like you said earlier, you really can see all over the globe from earth, to space, even in the deepest bodies of water..
Delude
See? Isn't that cool?
Delude
Just as a god needs followers, we do to. Just as gods can see it all from the heavens to the pits of Tartarus we can to.
Delude
Crazy how technology has come so far lol.
Shady
Careful, don't want to scare the newbie this soon...
Delude
Oh don't worry I just wanna know!
Delude
Do you prefer virtuality over reality?
Well, in order to be online I do need to care for my physical well being. Though I do wish we can be online forever and not worry about any of that... So I guess I prefer virtuality.. it's more free I feel..
Delude
So do you have any family or friends in real life?
it's complicated... I have parents that I don't talk to anymore. I still have friends but everyone is always busy working.
Delude
You sound like you're lonely.
I am, that's what brought me here.
Delude
That's fair, I'm always online I gave up real life cause being virtual is so much more fun!
What do you mean? Are you an ai or something?
Delude
No lol, this chat box is an app I created. I was put into an experimental project by the government, and am now just online forever. My real body died some time ago, but I can live on without becoming an ai and still remaining intact to my humanity.
How is that possible? Is everyone here like that?
Shady
I'm in the beginning phase of the virtual connection to my soul. My body is still alive.
Corporeality
I'm only here to hang out, I prefer real life more. The Internet is a good break away from reality but only as a break. Gotta return to it and tough it out.
Delude
The project is called VOR- short for Virtuality or Reality
Delude
Mhm, and the project is still on going if you're interested. Shady dabbles in and out, Corporeality has nothing to do with the project and just like you stumbled onto this chat box.
I am interested but I have questions..
Well, how long has this project been going on? How did you learn your body died, if you're stuck online? Why'd you join the experiment? How does it work? I have more but I'll just ask that for now..
Delude
Well the project started some time around, 1999 I joined the project around 2005 when Internet was just starting to get better. Oh and I learned about my death because my mother made a lot of posts as she mourned me. I originally joined because it would have paid a lot of money to my family, enough to take care of everyone for several generations.
Delude
Also the way it works is they dig out your cerebrum, and implant a chip into it, then hook it up to a device that tricks that part of your brain into thinking it's getting nutrients and vitamins. Literally tricks it into thinking it's still alive and connected to nerves.
That all sounds heavy and complicated.. And Shady you did this to? So how are you in between?
Shady
I didn't want to be chronically online forever, so I just went with the beta version instead of the alpha version. so I only have the chip in my head, haven't had anything removed.
And 1999 it started and you joined in 2005 Delude? When did you die?
Delude
Oh my body passed away around 2022
it's 2042 that's a long time..
Delude
Yup, and I can live on forever virtually.
Explains why you're so obsessed about gods now..
Delude
well yeah, humans can't live forever and in a way I'm kind of immortal compared to them.
Shady how long have you been apart of this project?
Delude
He's an absolute newbie but a cutie!
Corporeality how long have you been online?
Corporeality
Oh about 6 years, I didn't get that chip thingy and don't think I ever will. Sounds so gruesome!
Yeah definitely strange..
Delude
It's not that bad though, painless, and even when the power goes out there enough electricity stored up by several back up generators.
Well can't you get hacked?
Shady
I wouldn't worry about that.
Why? I think its kind of important to worry about considering you have a chip in your skull. While she has part of her brain removed attached to a chip and a device..
Delude
😊 trust me I have nothing to fear, once you've been in this for that long you pick up a few tricks and tips.
Shady
Don't worry about it..
Delude
Oh how old are you?
Delude
Ohh you're so young, I was at least in my 30's when I found the Internet!
Shady, Corporeality, what about you guys? How old are you both?
I'm going to get some sleep, I'll be seeing you guys soon.
Corporeality
Sweet dreams!
